In a recent burglary at the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) campus in New Delhi, cash and jewellery valued at ₹50 lakh (approximately $60,000 USD) were stolen from the residence of Mahavir Singh, an undersecretary. The theft occurred early Sunday morning while Singh was away. His daughter, Alisha Mural, discovered the break-in upon returning home, finding the lock broken and the house ransacked. The burglars reportedly left tools and a purse behind, indicating they fled in haste. This incident marks the fourth burglary on the NCERT campus since August 2022, despite the presence of over 80 security guards and 57 CCTV cameras. Residents have expressed concerns about the effectiveness of security measures, suspecting that the burglars may have insider knowledge of the campus layout, as they specifically target homes where residents are absent. A senior police officer mentioned that forensic teams have been dispatched to investigate, but many CCTV cameras were found to be non-functional, complicating the investigation.
